Contemplative Readiness –A Benedictine gift to hold lightly what is coming next

Ornate gate and door at St. Benedict’s Shrine in Bristow, VA

At this point in time, we are wondering what the future holds for us Benedictines, vowed and oblates. Benedict’s Rule schools us to move into the future. Take the cellarer (RB 31) and the porter (RB 66) as examples! They teach us about being available to what is approaching us. Walk with them through the gate and the door and be welcoming!
